In Abor Jungles  being an Account of the Abor Expedition  the Mishmi Mission and the Miri Mission by  Angus Hamilton Illustrated By Maud Walmsley Heap  Published By Eveleigh Nash ______________________________________________________ Overview An historical book written by Angus Hamilton and originally published in 1912. Hamilton, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, provides a detailed firsthand and journalistic report of the British military and political operations in the remote northeastern frontier of India (modern-day Arunachal Pradesh and Assam) between 1911 and 1912.  How did this Happen?  The book details the punitive response of the British Raj following the March 1911 massacre of British Assistant Political Officer Noel Williamson, Dr Gregorson, and their camp followers by the Abor people. The Abor Expedition: Commanded by Major-General Hamilton Bower, this military campaign sought to punish the perpetrators, crush local resistance, and establish British authority over the frontier.  Alongside the main military thrust, the book tracks simultaneous political and surveying missions sent into the neighbouring Mishmi and Miri tribal territories to map the uncharted geography along the volatile borders of India and China.  Anthropological Insights: Hamilton also details the customs, social structures, and daily lives of the indigenous Abor, Mishmi, and Miri tribes giving us all anthropological insights.  The text documents early efforts to chart difficult jungle terrains and major river systems like the Dihang providing geographical surveys. The original text includes over 85 photographs and an expedition map drafted by the author to chronicle the campaign. All diagrams and maps present.
